Wrong glass, Sir.
Two huge snakes fall through kitchen ceiling in Australia

I would die well before any snake venom could do me in.

Fuck I hate snakes.

Snakes have never bothered me. Growing up in the arid, high desert out West though, fucking Black Widows are the things of nightmares. They're twice as satanic level freaky up close and personal as they are in pics. You Great Lakes people are lucky that they're not around here, though I think you might have them down in Florida. I'd gladly take snakes over them....unless you're talking about lots of motherfucking Black Mamba type motherfuckers all over the place. Then, I'd reevaluate.

Yeah that's just one of those things isn't it? Everybody's got their thing.

Nothing else bothers me to be honest, spiders even though they can be dangerous, hell we had little scorpions that would be in the kitchen in the morning in Florida. None of that shit bothers me really. I just kill them and move on.

OTOH, the smallest little green garden snake slithers across my boot and I'm going into Rockette mode. I just can't help it. They creep me the fuck out like nothing else.

Dude, they are around here. Found them occasionally in woodpiles in NY and Ohio. Good thing about widows is they are pretty much restricted to their web, unlike brown recluses, who are webless wandering terrors

Occasionally being the key word. Out West, they were a fact of life. Chicago is out of their habitat range, but I guess Columbus is within it, yet I never saw or heard of anyone seeing one in my years in Columbus. It's like Mikey in Swingers explaining the difference in finding trouble in LA versus New York to Sue. Out West, Widows find you.

Recluses don't go looking for trouble and will avoid any contact if they can. Widows are fucking aggressive, particularly if there's an egg sack involved.

It is, although upstate NY was a much more likely habitat. They are aggressive, but they generally stay on the web and defend it. Recluses are a bitch because they get in places like closets and you don’t know they’re there. Imagine my adrenaline when I was picking up my laundry and one popped out...I grabbed a snow boot and started beating the shit out of it :lol:

Well, at least a recluse deserved the beatdown, unlike this poor, harmless bastard.
